===> That is great, because if it gets, really, really, really cold, I may bring some plastic sheeting, and build a super shelter ala Fourdog with a long fire beside it with a fire reflector, just for kicks.

"super shelters" make winter camping a blast. I went out last Thursday and had a fire four feet from my hammock with a reflector behind the fire and another reflector behind my black hammock tarp. I didn't go with a full blown "super shelter" because it was only 20 degrees. I was toasty warm all night and had a nice chimney effect for the smoke to go straight up.

Maybe if I secure a nice spot for my hammock, I'll do the same setup as a demonstration for those not familiar with fires, reflectors, and winter camping in general. Or sky, we could setup close to each other with a fire in between us and each having a reflector behind us.

===> That could be fun! I am thinking some other Bushcraft stuff as well .... maybe firestarting and stacking, maybe battoning wood, feathersticks, simple traps.... maybe I will stay there for the winter!

Sounds like a great way to pass what's left of the time between eating and all around shenanigans.

this will cut into my continual jumping jacks to stay warm act though..

Well there shouldn't be any porcupines in the area. Now watch after I say that we will over run with them.

Skypainter there will not be a need to gather and chop firewood. The ranger is providing us with a bunch of firewood that is ready to go. Plus I will have some hardwood in the truck encase we want to cook on a fire.
